Why so high?

How is the tan? Is he still using that stuff that gives him an orange tint?

bail is twice as high as the cop who is charged with murdering the coach? same as a $10K fine. the establishment at work. with all the privacy invasion of celebrities unpunished why is a pic of some old lady in a nursing home harmful? apparently she is clueless.

Kevin Camp is a solid attorney but he should have hired someone with a deeper experience in crazy ass political stuff. Maybe Randy or Buddy.

Crazy ass political stuff is Shawn " O'Hara's forte.
He sat at the defense table with Travis Buckley during the Sam Bowers trial, even after Buckley left the table to take a ten- minute telephone call;Judge Pigmeat McKenzie allowed Assistant DA Helfrich to continue without interruption of the trial.

O'Hara, the judge, prosecutors and the press witnessed Mike Moore go to the jury room door and lie down on the floor to peer in at the jurors--making eye contact with them- during deliberations.

O'Hara did not, however, attend the Judge's "hospitality & pork barbecue" throwdown party--hard liquor was serve,too-- conducted at the judge's home. Those attenting were Buckley, the prosecuting attorneys, East Coast reporters, and prosecution witnesses... including Big Jim Ingram and FBI agents. The editor of the Hattiesburg-American was at the party. Hood's brother at the Ethics Commission was sent down to whitewash the event weeks later. The omnipresent O'Hara sat with Jimmy Dukes and Precious martin at the H'burg mayorial trial back in August.

5:58 - But it's not just "a pic of some old lady in a nursing home," it's exploiting that picture in order to affect the election of a United States senator.

So he's being held on the Federal charge? PUT UP.

Not sure if Gallo has enough panties in his drawer to support the size of the wad he'll be sporting tomorrow.

I know, 8:02, my point was that using the picture of "some old lady in a nursing home" is something of great value in this case given who her husband is, and that is why the state charged him accordingly under the vulnerable adults law.

Never heard of court on Sunday. Anybody else arrested would have to sit it out for the weekend and wait it out until Monday morning. Why the urgency?

They keep saying this guy is a blogger but no one has said what blog he does and know one is asking....some I'm asking.

Try reading the actual post.

I checked out Constitutional Clayton's website. The guy's well informed and well spoken on US foreign policy...not the average booze/buffet/ballgames Mississippi Bubba. I'd rather a Clayton Kelly whispering into my Senator's ears on US foreign policy and immigration laws, rather than a Lawrence Korb, an Alan Dershowitz or a Robert Kagan. And that's what we'll have if Cochran returns to Congress. Forget all that bitch-slapping between Cochran and McCain on the Senate floor...it's all theatrics for public consumption. Cochran will support John McCain's immigration bill and his bill creating a twenty-member war powers board, bypassing Congress. There is also an Al Sharpton video at the website on those "Greek homos."
That aside, I cannot explain Kelly's alleged conduct at the nursing home. So bizarre.

While this was a disgusting thing for someone to do to try and gain political points, it seems the bail set was pretty high. Any legal opinions as to why? If it is just because of who Thad Cochran is, that is not a good reason.

It wasn't a million dollars. He went easy on him.

So this guy is married? and has a blog. Well informed yada yada.

What is his background and means of support? Does he have any record of paid political work? How about his wife?

Madison County bail is always high. We wish you crooks would get the message and commit your crimes in other counties.

The bond seems very high to me.

Contrats, Kingfish, on braking a national story. You did it right-- reported what you had-- but made it clear enough that anyone checking a detail or two would have seen what you meant. Within 20 mins of you reporting the arrest, I knew it must have involved Mrs. Cochran.

9:01: I was told 48 hour rule on initial appearance after arrest.

So, now we know that Thad Cochran continues to care well for a wife who has left him in all but body through the misfortune of health.

We know he has been discreet in seeking companionship and not flaunted out of respect for Rose.

This seems not just a desperate political strategy and a sleazy one, but one sure to backfire.

Were there any doubt this campaign is filled with people who are mean spirited zealots and the mentally unstable, all doubt is removed.

Interesting that Erick Erickson from RedState is making the claim on Twitter and on his site that the Madison Police department was somehow involved with the Cochran campaign because this was the PD's first press release of the year. Obviously he was basing this on their website. All he had to do was check JJ to see other press releases on other matters.

My question is why is Lisa Shoemaker Employee of Mississippi Cable Telecommunications Association editing for the Clarion Ledger writers? Also what is the exact date that this incident happened? The rumor is that this happened weeks ago and the Madison PD just received a report. Is Ms. Cochran in a dementia unit? If so how did Kelly gain access to the unit?

Good Lord somebody give that boy a comb.

Interesting observation, 7:22. Are you suggesting that seeking discreet companionship is morally okay if your spouse is ill? I guess the vows should be modified to include "until death do us part or until you get too sick to understand what's happening." Further, if that's what happened are you saying that it was somehow out of respect to his wife? Thad was 62 in 2000 when his wife went into St. Catherine's. How long do you think he waited before discreetly seeking companionship? How is having your picture taken with your companion in obvious social situations - one usually doesn't wear evening dress to work meetings - not flaunting it?

This stinks. All of it. And if 7:22 is right then Clayton Kelly isn't the first person to take advantage of Rose Cochran.

"Clayton Kelly isn't the first person to take advantage of Rose Cochran."

BRAVO. You said it Bill! One would think that instead of owning some obscure mothballed home in Oxford that Thad would have a place right here in the Metro close to Rose and Jackson Int'l.

Karma. Because he will be the vulnerable adult in prison. Maybe they will film it and post it on you tube

You are right, Bill. The Cochran campaign continues to take full advantage of Rose. They'll ride this as hard and long as they can. Anything to change the focus, right? All's fair....right? They both make me want to puke.

"So, now we know that Thad Cochran continues to care well for a wife who has left him in all but body through the misfortune of health."

How did you arrive at that conclusion, Anon? She's simply warehoused, like thousands of other Mississippi dementia patients, albeit in the most high-dollar of all possible facilities.

Word on the street has it that he never visits. So, again, where's the 'caring well' from the senator?

Thad has been bouncing around the planet with his social companion for two decades. The only way to have it at least appear (wink wink) professional is to keep her on payroll.

Now, back to McDaniel. He ain't got a damned thing to do with any of this.

How many times, and on how many official documents, has Senator Cochran listed the house owned by Kay Webber as his address? If Brietbart can find out, why not the media in Mississippi?

12:48 - that is Cochran's address. He works in DC, so he lives in DC. While he works in DC, he has to have a place to live. He rents an apartment in that house.

You have a problem with that? Or is it just true that y'all are trying to make an issue where there isn't one.

Pug, you think that "Constitutional Clayton" can continue to promote constitutional issues while he violates the residence of Rose Cochran and her individual rights? Seems like the ultimate dichotomy to me.

Bill, the McDaniel campaign has said in its numerous explanations of the events this weekend that they 'are running' their campaign on the issues and made the absolute decision to keep 'personal issues' out of the campaign. This coming from the vary people that have been pushing a "Kay Webber" story to every news outlet, blogger, or social outlet for two weeks and have you and other supporters pushing the matter. Isn't there some disconnect there?

And to be running ads that "Cochran voted for abortion" and that "Cochran voted against veterans" - didn't you condemn the 527 group supporting Cochran for ads they ran that you felt were misleading or false? Have you made similar condemnations against your guy?

I don't know why this is news...I heard about this right before Christmas.

Pete, I haven't seen the ads you're talking about but I've advised the McDaniel team at every opportunity to keep everything on the issues. My comment above was in response to a previous post, but what part isn't valid?

Bill the problem with your post is that it sounds alittle too self righteous. I am lucky to not understand what Thad and his family have gone through but I have a friend in the same situation. Yes you may be a saint who would be holding your wifes or significant others hand 24 hours a day but until you lived it you really cannot say. My friend did/does the same as Thad. His wife is and has been very sick but recently after many years started seeing another woman. I don't know if its disrespectfully but as with Thad his family was well aware and supports it. Its hard to be in their situation but its easy for people like you to throw stones. I really do not have a problem with it under the circumstances. I used to believe that things were black and white but as I live I realize that there is a whole lot of gray.

Bill the problem with your post is that it sounds alittle too self righteous.

Just "a little"? Well then tell us what is the right amount of self-righteousness. Can you give us an example?


I am lucky to not understand what Thad and his family have gone through ...

So you have no personal experience like Thad's. Okay, noted.


... but until you lived it you really cannot say ...

Thanks for confirming that you really can't say either.


... but its easy for people like you to throw stones.

Since you have no personal experience then I think you should reconsider the stones you are throwing. Goose, gander, you get it? Right?

Okay. We'll mark that down. Anonymous Commenter #7623 doesn't have a problem with Thad's daliance on the side.


Next.

Marriage till death do us part...I guess that just a saying...God please strike everyone down and lets start over....

God, please start with Micah.

So, I saw ads by the McD campaign or supporters stating Cochran voted for "taxpayer-funded abortions">

So how did he get a 100% Pro-Life rating from the National Pro-Life group?

McD's crew couldn't be, um, er, LYING, could they?

Watching the perp in slo-mo walking through the Madison courtroom....looked like a child. Mouthed "I love y'all", obviously to family members. Nervous, twitching, bedraggled, deer in the headlights look. While some are congratulating him for being a tech genius, he really looked like a dim bulb to me.

It's time for Cochran to meet the press and deliver his "Have You No Decency, Sir" speech, followed by questions from reporters;then let the law take its course.
The first question to Cochran:If you are re-elected, will you support Senator McCain's Senate bill to repeal the War Powers Act and replace it with a Twenty-Member war policy board.

What's lost in all of this is why he is being held on $100,000 bond when the crime is a misdemeanor. If Dale thinks this kid is stupid and won't turn around and sue him after he gets out, he's dead wrong.

That is what Dale sets for misdemeanors. See Juanitez

Considering that the max fine for exploitation is $5,000 and this offense is relatively minor, I would call $100,000 bail practicularly excessive and meant to inflict emotional stress upon him and his family. I'm sure Dale will try to throw him in the slammer for 365 and the sentence will be shot down on appeal. It's rather obvious that the Cochran Campaign held onto this until just the right moment to have the maximum affect and damage to McDaniel's Campaign. Which begs the question, which does Thad care about more, His wife or being reelected. Reporters need to do their damn jobs and never stop asking tough questions. Some of the reporting that I have seen on this has been all pro Cochran, anti McDaniel and no one has stopped to ask the other campaign why they waited 3 weeks to file charges.

McDaniels campaign is involved but unfortunately we will not find out until after the election. As far as Danks I am glad he does what he does. I hope the thugs and outlaw bloggers realize that you should screw around in Madison.

@9:15 Judge Danks can set the bond at any amount he wishes without any possibility of civil liability due to absolute judicial immunity. Mr. Kelly's bond may be subject to a reduction by filing a petition for habeas corpus in a higher court. Otherwise the only mechanism for holding a judge accountable for regularly setting unconstitutional bonds is the Judicial Performance Commission.

Does anybody know if Dale is still using the towlettes now that the full blown tan towels are available?

I just came to your post and reading above thing it is very impressive me and it is very nice blog. Thanks a lot for sharing this.
